Recommended Ground Method<br />
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong power<br />
supply cord with a grounded plug. To minimize the possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged into a 3 prong<br />
outlet and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not available, it is the customer’s<br />
responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.<br />
It is the customer’s responsibility:<br />
• To contact a qualified electrician<br />
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate<br />
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,<br />
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and<br />
ordinances.<br />
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:<br />
National Fire Protection Association<br />

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269<br />
LCDI Power Cord and Plug<br />
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as<br />
required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination<br />
on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.<br />
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current<br />
leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain deenergized<br />
until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or<br />
combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if<br />
exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.<br />
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if<br />
the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:<br />
1. Plug power cord into a wall outlet<br />
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all<br />
power to the air conditioner<br />
3. Press the RESET button for use<br />
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the<br />
current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air<br />
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer<br />
Service for troubleshooting recommendations.<br />

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Window Preparation<br />
Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If<br />
a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.<br />
Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made<br />
to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed<br />
screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.<br />

Min. Window Width 31” 26 1/2”<br />
Max Window Width 43” 40 1/2”<br />
Storm Window Requirements<br />
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To<br />
adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”.<br />
Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air<br />
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 1).<br />

than the storm<br />
window frame<br />
for proper<br />
drainage<br />
Prior to Installing the <strong>Air</strong> Conditioner<br />
1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees, or<br />
awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.<br />
2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate<br />
(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to<br />
reach.<br />
3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when removing.<br />
Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.<br />
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from<br />
the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front<br />
and rear coils.<br />

directly at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.<br />
• The remote control has a signal range up to<br />
20 feet.<br />
• Make sure nothing is blocking the remote control<br />
signal from being received by the air conditioner.<br />
• Make sure the batteries are installed correctly<br />
and still have power.<br />
• Cooling Mode: Use the COOL mode at Low, Medium,<br />
High, or Auto Fan speed when cooling is<br />
needed. Use the temperature ▲/▼ buttons to set<br />
the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F.<br />
• Once the temperature is set, the compressor<br />
will cycle on and off to keep the room<br />
temperature at the set temperature level. The<br />
lower the set thermostat temperature, the<br />
cooler the room will become. The higher the<br />
set thermostat temperature, the warmer the<br />
room will become.<br />
• For Normal Cooling - Set the Mode to Cool<br />
and the Fan to High or Med with the<br />
termperature set in the middle.<br />
• For Maximum Cooling - Set the Mode to Cool<br />
and the Fan to High with a lower set<br />
temperature.<br />
• For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling - Set the<br />
Mode to Cool and the Fan to Low with the<br />
temperature set in the middle.<br />
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then<br />
turned on while set to a Cool setting or if<br />
turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it<br />
may take approximately 3 minutes for the<br />
compressor to start and cooling to begin.<br />
• Energy Saver Mode - Controls the Fan<br />
On - The fan will cycle on and off with the<br />
compressor. This results in winder variations of room<br />
temperature and humidity. Normally used with the<br />
room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan my continue to<br />
run for a short time after the compressor cycles off.<br />
Off - The fan runs all the time in fan or cooling mode.<br />
• Fan Only Mode: Use Fan Only mode at Low,<br />
Med, or High fan speed to provide air circulation<br />
and filtering without cooling. Since fan only setting<br />
do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot<br />
be entered. The room temperature will appear in<br />
the display.<br />
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used in Fan<br />
Only mode.<br />
• Loss of Power Protection: If power to the air<br />
conditioner is lost or interrupted, the air conditioner<br />
will automatically re-start in the setting last<br />
used prior to power loss. If the Timer was set to<br />
automatically turn the air conditioner off or on, it<br />
will resume countdown at the amount time left<br />
prior to power loss. You may need to set a new<br />
time if desired.<br />
• <strong>Air</strong> Direction: Use the lever near on the front air<br />
vents to adjust the direction of the airflow. You<br />
can direct the airflow left or right only. The lever is<br />
located on the right side of the air vent.<br />

CARE AND CLEANING<br />
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new<br />
and to minimize dust build up.<br />
<strong>Air</strong> Filter Cleaning<br />
The air filter should be checked at least once<br />
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped<br />
particles and dust can build up in the filter and<br />
may decrease airflow as well as cause the<br />
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air<br />
filter:<br />
1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the indents<br />
of the filter door on the front of the unit.<br />
(See FIG. 13)<br />
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and<br />
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently<br />
shake the filter to remove excess water.<br />
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it<br />
into the air conditioner.<br />
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may<br />
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and<br />
other particles.<br />
Cabinet Cleaning<br />
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:<br />
• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or<br />
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of<br />
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oilfree<br />
cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in<br />
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.<br />
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe<br />
dry.<br />
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on<br />
the cabinet front.<br />
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth<br />
before wiping around the controls. Excess<br />
water in or around the controls may cause<br />
damage to the air conditioner.<br />
Winter Storage<br />
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use<br />
for an extended period of time, remove it carefully<br />
from the window according to the installation<br />
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in<br />
the original box<br />
.<br />
FIG. 13<br />
Wear and Tear<br />
To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner,<br />
always wait at least 3 minutes before<br />
changing modes. This will help prevent the<br />
compressor from overheating and the circuit<br />
breaker from tripping.<br />
